Following Blender development is now more straightforward. Today we are introducing a dedicated Roadmap page where artists, contributors, and the wider community can follow ongoing projects and in-development features. Move from a high-level overview to technical details in one click: each entry links to the relevant tracker issue, pull request, design discussion, or development blog post. The Roadmap highlights long-running work that shapes upcoming releases. For artists and studios, it clarifies what is actively being built and what to expect in the near future. For contributors, it provides insight on how to connect with existing project threads. It is only part of the bigger picture. Development also involves triaging, maintenance, bug fixes, documentation, and day-to-day module work. That side of Blender is equally essential, and always open to new contributors.
